2017 Bookwalter Protagonist

The 2017 Protagonist Cabernet Sauvignon Dionysus Vineyard is luscious and juicy with ripe, healthy fruit showcasing aromas of cinnamon, chocolate-covered cherries, black raspberry and dusty black plum tones before redcurrant and crème de cassis waft out of the glass. Full-bodied and with a velvety, round richness, the fruit's complexity and layers continue to unfold and unpack across the mid-palate. It has a balanced structure that leads to a long, lingering finish with flavors of cinnamon, vanilla and dark, dusty cherries that fade on the tongue.
